Zen - Fertility Reflexology
Fertility Reflexology
Fertility reflexology can be used by couples that are having difficulty conceiving, particularly those with unexplained infertility, but not exclusively these clients, for example those with PCOS or Endometriosis. Fertility Reflexology can support the client considering a more natural approach to conception or those clients undergoing Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). Others may use reflexology prior to ART as a preparation and balancing of the systems.
It takes a little time to prepare your body for pregnancy, ideally 3 to 4 months before conception, this gives your body time to balance hormones and to make nutritional / lifestyle changes so that it is in the best condition to achieve a healthy pregnancy. I would recommend having reflexology treatments once a week for twelve weeks, or if not possible, once every two weeks. This allows time to create the optimum body ecology to support your body to a healthy and viable pregnancy.

Conception is a complex process. A woman’s hormones must be correct for the egg to develop normally so that it can be fertilised. Stress and hormonal disorders such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (P.C.O.S.), Fibroids, Endometriosis and irregular periods can affect fertility. Reflexology not only helps the body to balance hormones, it’s also an opportunity to de-stress and a time for relaxation.
Fertility reflexology and nutritional / lifestyle changes can greatly improve your fertility and the chances of getting pregnant, so during a thorough consultation we can go through any lifestyle changes that can help your body achieve a healthy and happy baby.
Fertility reflexology can be used as a stand-alone treatment to enhance your natural fertility or with conventional treatments, such as Clomid, with fully medicated cycles of IUI, IVF, and ICSI as well as with donor eggs.
Fertility reflexology may assist by directing the flow of vital energy to where it is needed by balancing and restoring health and reducing the impact of stress. The whole person is treated and not the specific conditions.
Many clients find this a very stressful and emotional roller coaster time. The opportunity to have a supporting therapist who understands their needs and provides the opportunity for ‘me time’ away from the demands of life by helping to relax and balance the body can make such a difference to the way in which they cope with this aspect of their life.
Please note: Fertility and Pregnancy, Postnatal Reflexology is a wonderful complementary health support but it is not a substitute for medical and obstetric care, if you have any concerns please do seek medical advice.
